Crossing Borders

At the risk of giving him a drum roll, Japanese architect Junya Ishigami is losing the tag of former SANAA protégé and in the last few months has won the Golden Lion for best project at this year’s Venice Architecture Biennial, has exhibitions at the Shiseido Gallery and Toyota Municipal Museum of Art in Japan, and is the Guest of Honour at INTERIEUR 2010, Belgium’s Design Biennial. Architecture as air is not exclusively transparent for this professional border crosser.
